No she can't keep him away like that. Keep a log and do everything in email or texts. Contact a lawyer ASAP and file for shared custody.

Yep, you will need to get a lawyer. She cannot and should not do that. Find a book or article about the damage it does to kids to be torn between parents--it's the primary reason children suffer from divorce. Have a neutral party give it to your wife--she probably won't pay attention if you try to give it to her.

There is one exception to the general rule that kids need to see both parents: if one endangers the child (alcohol/drug abuse, not using seat belts on the child in the car, other risky behaviors that have been documented/proven). Even then, supervised visits (supervised by a neutral party) are good for the child.

Good luck.

Screw a lawyer. Call the cops and get out an Amber Alert.

With no agreement, there's no saying you couldn't show up at daycare or school and come get your son. No order means nothing is violated you have every right to see your son. Tug of war probably not in his best interest - but just saying.
